An Interactive Fiction by Arielle Shander
Release 1 / Serial number 110513 / Inform 7 build 6G60 (I6/v6.32 lib 6/12N)
After a night of brutal rain and thunder, you are pleased to wake up to the sound of a quiet, serene morning. Sleeping through storms is one of your favorite summer pasttimes. After all, conserving one's energy reserves is important!
A dark mask spans horizontally across the length of your chocolate-brown eyes, giving you an air of mystery. However, a thief must rely on more than just her eyes.
One of your greatest traits is your stealth; it has allowed you get away with stealing for years. You also have highly-dexterous fingers and are an expert on using tools to pick locks. You can be rather naive, which leads you into troublesome situations at times, but you're also cleverer than most others.
Because of your circumstances, you think of nothing more than feeding yourself so that your body can provide nutrients for your growing children.
Being inside your home gives you a feeling of a sense of comfort and security. Residing inside an abandoned supplies crate may not seem all that glorious, but it's more than adequate when compared to being outdoors with no walls or roof whatsoever. It's also very spacious, so it can fit you and your two young children inside.
It smells strongly of damp wood in here. Small holes in the sides let in slivers of light. You should really get going. You're hungry and need food. Both of your boy and girl are sleeping. Should you have them come with you? They are getting older, after all, and they have to learn to be as excellent a thief as you at some point.
If you leave, you'll be on the split path.
